Chapter 18: Uncle Ran
"Da Tao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The fat man watched as Lin Tao sank into the undercurrent under the crack along with the coffin under his gaze.
"Da Tao." The fat man sat up suddenly, saw the wall of the hotel, and remembered that this was a dream, whenever he thought of Lin Tao's desperate eyes in the past few days, his heart was full of guilt, if he hadn't called Lin Tao to accompany him, he wouldn't have had an accident, and he wouldn't have fallen into this deep self-blame.
"What's the matter, I'm dreaming again." The fifth master pushed the door and walked in.
"Did Dad find it?" The fat man asked Wang Changshun eagerly, but all he got was shaking his head.
"Go back, you should be tired this time, and I will go with you to make amends to Lin Tao's parents when the time comes."
"No, I'm not going back, I can't find him and I'm determined not to go back." The fat man punched the wall hard, picked up his clothes and walked out the door.
"Qingshan, you accompany the sea to relax, he and Lin Tao grew up together since childhood, they are like brothers and sisters, and they can't accept it for a while."
"Don't worry, Fifth Master, in this Yunnan-Guizhou region, as long as I am here, Wang Shao will not have an accident." After answering the fifth master's voice, he followed.
"Lin Tao, you're finally awake." Lin Tao opened his eyes, and the excitement on Xue Lou's face came into his eyes.
"Where are we?" Lin Tao looked weakly at Xue Lou's concerned gaze.
"I didn't know, but when I woke up, I found that we were here, and the people in the village said that they found the coffin by the river at the entrance of the village and rescued us. You've been in a coma for three days. ”
With the support of Xuelou, Lin Tao got out of bed tremblingly, lay down for a few days, and when he got out of bed, Lin Tao, who was weak and weak, took two steps and was dizzy.
"Did Xuelou contact home?"
"No, mobile phones can't be used in the water, and this village is in the mountains, there is basically no signal, and there are mobile phones at home, and the people in the village say that they can only go to the town if they want to call."
"Then let's leave tomorrow and hurry back." Lin Tao was a little anxious when he heard that he couldn't contact his family, if the fat man told his parents that he had fallen into an undercurrent and that he was more than lucky, what would happen to his parents. As soon as he thought of this, Lin Tao became anxious.
"Let's find a way to do this, I asked the people in the village, a few days ago, the mudslide washed away the only road in the village, and I can't get out for the time being, so you can take a good rest."
After resting for two days, Lin Tao felt much better, so he walked around this village, the village was basically full of old people and children, and when he walked to the entrance of the village, Lin Tao looked at the only road leading to the town in the village and sighed, when will I go back.
"Lin Tao, your injuries are not healed, you have nothing to run around."
Lin Tao turned his head to see that it was Uncle Ran who saved him.
"Uncle Ran, you just came back." Facing his savior, Lin Tao hurriedly helped him pick up the hoe for farming.
In the past two days, Lin Tao also learned that this village is basically surnamed Ran, an authentic Miao village, young people have basically gone out to work to earn money, and those who stay are some old people and children.
"By the way, the day after tomorrow is our festival, just take you to see." Uncle Ran said warmly to Lin Tao and took Lin Tao back home.
"What are you going to do when Lin Tao goes back?" At night, Xuelou lay on the bed and looked at Lin Tao on the opposite bed and said.
"Go back, of course you have a good rest for a few days when you go back, and go out to eat something delicious." When Lin Tao thought of the comfortable life of going home, his heart was about to float.
"With you, of course." Lin Tao didn't forget to add. When I was in Dali, I told Xue Lou to take her home, and I always remembered it, and Xue Lou went to find herself regardless of the danger, and I will never forget this kindness.
"And what am I going to do at your house?" After Xue Lou finished speaking, he buried his face in the pillow and listened carefully to Lin Tao's next words.
"You, me, go to the bathroom."
Not knowing how to answer Xuelou, Lin Tao seized the excuse and escaped.
Sitting at the back of the house, looking at the bright moonlight, how to tell Xue Lou and complete the marriage contract with her?
Lin Tao, who was whistling in the night breeze in the mountains, was chilled, stayed outside for a while, and was about to go back. saw a figure jump from Uncle Ran's window and quickly ran into the abandoned hut behind.
Is there a thief? Lin Tao followed quietly, and the whirring wind just muffled Lin Tao's footsteps, and followed up in the courtyard of the abandoned hut.
Lin Tao walked around to the window at the back of the house and looked inside through the gap.
"Son, be hungry, you'll have something to eat in a few days." Uncle Ran sliced his thigh at a dry well in the house as if he was drunk, and the bright red blood flowed down the blade into a small bucket. Uncle Ran, on the other hand, didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and looked at the darkness in the well with a very loving expression.
After about a bowl of blood, Uncle Ran took out a black cloth from his arms and stuck it on the bleeding leg, took out a small box, took out a pill and swallowed it, and after a while, the pale face with excessive blood loss became a little bloody.
Uncle Ran hoisted the bucket of his own blood into the dry well.
"Son, let's eat something first, I haven't gone into the mountains to hunt in the past few days, you will go down first, and when the day after tomorrow is the holiday, let you eat to your heart's content." Uncle Ran looked at the bottom of the well with a happy face.
"Roar." A few dull roars came from the bottom of the well, and Lin Tao was so frightened that he immediately squatted down, this voice was not the sound of the blood slave in the tomb of the King of Dian, but why did Uncle Ran call it his son, could it be that Uncle Ran's child became a blood slave? Moreover, the pill that Uncle Ran ate actually made his face quickly return to ruddy, could it be also an elixir? But Uncle Ran doesn't have a son, who is this Uncle Ran who saved himself and Xuelou. A series of questions appeared in front of Lin Tao.
Uncle Ran in the house said to his son in the dry well and left quickly, watching Uncle Ran return to his room, Lin Tao quietly walked into the abandoned hut.
Lifting the weeds covering the dry well, pulling open the manhole cover, a smell of blood immediately rushed up, Lin Tao pinched his nose and looked down, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at Lin Tao under the moonlight and roared angrily.
Seeing this, Lin Tao hurriedly covered the manhole cover, restored to its original state, and hurriedly returned to the house and lay down on the bed. Sure enough, after a while, I saw a figure peeping in the window.
Those eyes were the same as the ones he saw at the moment when he smashed open the mural in the tomb of King Dian, crimson and bloodshot, glaring angrily. Are two pairs of eyes the same pair? But in the village, Lin Tao also asked clearly, there is a distance of more than 100 kilometers from Da Lou Mountain to here, and how could the things in the dry well run into the tomb of King Dian. A series of questions poured into Lin Tao's mind, and it was chaotic.
"Why did you go so long yesterday, I fell asleep waiting for you." Xue Lou glanced at Lin Tao with a little dissatisfaction, and then pretended to be angry and turned around.
"My stomach hurt last night, don't be angry." Lin Tao hurriedly apologized to Xuelou, and wanted to tell Xuelou about last night's incident, but after thinking about it, it was better to bury it in his stomach, and after a few days the road was repaired, he hurried to leave, it seems that this isolated Miao family village must have some secrets, and Lin Tao, who doesn't want to have any more incidents, just wants to leave as soon as possible.
